Facebook updates: 2017

 On 12 October 2017 our Society, Society for the Visually Handicapped (SVH), Kolkata, India, has opened this Facebook A/C for two major objects: i. to familiarize & update our beneficiaries, friends, wellwishers and donors about highlights of our progress with education empowerment of the Blind & Vision Impaired and ii. to update list of our Braille & digital talking books to generate the information fast among our beneficiaries and other users. First of all, our Society is extremely grateful to Facebook authorities for enabling us with a free of charge access to this social media for a charitable cause. Secondly, The Hans Foundation, New Delhi, who supported us considerably and generously for the last five years our Digital Talking Book production and computerized Braille book production for the last four years, have expressed their decision to phase out support. Since these two projects are the lifeline of our Society we are submitting an appeal to public to sponsor Braille & audio books for the Blind to promote Literacy for the Print-Disabled.
Humbly
Ms Hena Basu, Secretary
Society for the Visually Handicapped, Kolkata 12 October 2017..
